I noticed it because it's the same price as the highest price for an 1852.

That's a WB-6 like mine. The other is an obverse 1 and looks to be a WB-1. The WB-8 with the top of an 8 in the dentils is a rare DM to search for. I haven't so far.
I'd like @robec to photograph this one someday. This was a very important addition to my collection. It still holds the price record for the grade on Coinfacts after 17 years. It was a bargain! It needs to be regraded and reholdered.

I'm receiving grading results and Trueviews for some crossovers today. I agree with the grades with one exception. My 42-O SD WB-1 gets no love from TPG graders whatsoever even though I like its dark brown toning and light wear. I was hoping its VF20 detail would prevail over the otherwise horrible strike and this coin would grade F12. Give me a break here, please! NOOOoo. They dropped it down to VG8! It's no fault of the coin that the dies were clogged or collapsing, dammit!

1891 - ICG XF40 crossed to PCGS VF35 (49655660)

1886 - ANACS VF35 to PCGS VF30

This is a dark brown 1842-O small date that ICG graded VG10, PCGS graded VG8. With intense light, Trueview turns a dark brown coin into shades of yellow and blue.
Nearly full LIBERTY, gown, and wing feathering detail on a VG8? The horrible WB-1 die marriage has screwed me even worse than before!

Another addition to fill a set vacancy. I strive to stay within the XF realm but this one seemed fitting and now it's only one more (77-CC) to finish off Carson City!

This 1855/854 off eBay arrived in the mail today after mail delivery resumed post-Helene. Probably cleaned long ago and retoned, with some planchet streaks on the reverse and a fine scratch on the obverse. The overdate is as strong as any I've seen; with structures one doesn't see on most 55/54 overdates. It's a better example than the CoinFacts close-up, showing even more of the underdate. In fact, this coin shows what looks to be shelf doubling to resemble a doubled date overdate. A 1855/1855/1854. I'm going to have to get an SLH expert to examine and photograph this coin. It may not straight grade, but what an overdate!

Can’t wait to see a clear pic of the overdate! Congrats!

Those TV images look like they are way too bright washing out the color, out of focus as well.
Are these a little more accurate?

Another super original rare beauty…

OMG @Leeroybrown! It's beautiful for the grade! My PCI VF35 was rejected as expected by PCGS for cleaning, so I have to get rid of it.
This nice G4 is taunting me now. Congratulations!

Very usual toning for a seated dollar. Could be end of roll toning, have you sent it to CAC?

The dealer said this coin was the best toned SLD he’s ever seen, and he’s been in the game for almost 50 years.
It’s going to CAC my next submission, but I don’t think I’m expecting it to sticker. I’ve heard JA isn’t a fan of the cotton candy toning?!?

Thanks for the details! I'd call it wow toning.

Here's some funkified toning that JA approved, so one never knows. Two different views, it's something in between. Super common date, XF45 CAC.

It begs me to want to see the other 19! Nice end-roll toner... even to the point of seeing paper-folds.

I like toning and consider the look of my avatar coin to be almost perfect for the grade as a circulated cameo. However, coins with this look are often lightly cleaned or brushed, and collectors here have had these coins rejected for cleaning. This coin also shows some light hairlining (which the TrueView shows), so I had some doubts that it would grade and put off submitting it.
I grade it VF35. PCGS graded it VF30. I'm just happy it graded and like the conservative grade for this nice coin.

Here are early TrueViews of inexpensive coins scrounged from my collection to fill holes in my registry set or for resale. PCGS is still working on them, hence the dark background.
"1840-O WB-11, 146 reeds, Large O" PCGS VF35 - PCGS failed to attribute this coin fully with a reed count as I had requested. A WB-11 with 145 reeds is an R2. A WB-11 lacking die breaks with 146 reeds is an R6, so it's important to count the reeds on any WB-11 without die breaks. The coin is labeled "WB-11, Large O" with no reed count.

@Barberian , I find your 1857-O fantastically eye appealing, old minor hairlines or not. I'd like to grade it VF32.5 personally. That being said, if it were a coin in my keeper collection I'd much rather have it slabbed as a 30 than a 35. Unless I'm looking to flip a coin I'd nearly always prefer a conservative grade on the label. You have a wonderful piece there. A good example to the new and budget collectors here of how you can still find a magnificent piece of history for a reasonable price.

@Cladiator Thanks for the kind words and good advice. My main set ranges from F2 to AU58. I tried to buy as many EF coins as I could initially, but I like nice coins in all circulated grades. They're obviously less expensive and I didn't see the point of having a grade-matched set on my budget. For some dates such as 1879-1890, the lowest grade coins are the condition rarities, not the gems. One can find a dozen MS65s for every G4 example of these dates. The same is true for 1850, 1851 and 1852.
How could I resist this "gem" for the grade?
